Chapter 412: Chapter 411: I’ll Wait for You at Home (4)
That sentence of his was clearly heard not only by Xia Siyu but also by Qin Baizhou behind her, and by Wei Jingjing as well.
The moment Qin Baizhou saw him approaching, the smile on his face froze. After hearing what he said, his brow even slightly furrowed.
As for Wei Jingjing, it was as if a shadow had fallen before her, feeling that she was about to be settled with!
It’s over, I’ve been exposed!
Xia Siyu was obviously very angry, she was not someone who could be threatened and teased into blushing and acting coy with just a few words. She didn’t care about all that and kicked at Bo Yan with a lift of her leg!
Everybody was around, had he gone mad!
Bo Yan, well-experienced in being hit by her, quickly stepped back. Before retreating, he even pretended to be dusting off her shoulder.
Then he stepped back again.
Luckily, apart from them, the situation went unnoticed by the other actors, directors, and screenwriters present.
After Xia Siyu arrived, Sun Wujiu and several other crew members, as well as the other actors, all came forward, and everyone had a brief meeting.
Qin Baizhou was still there, and indeed, the others involved in the script read-through were somewhat surprised.
Xia Siyu was not a newcomer, nor was it her first time filming a movie; there was no need for such close follow-up.
But neither Bo Yan nor the director said anything, so they just wondered to themselves without making any comments.
Xia Siyu had come prepared this time; she brought along a thick stack of materials and her own notebook for taking detailed notes on things she didn’t understand.
Whether her questions were right or wrong, she at least had the right attitude.
Director Sun Wujiu presumably had heard a lot about Xia Siyu’s reputation, about being a diva and not professional, and he thought she was going to be deliberately troublesome when he saw her with her agent.
Who knew she would be so cooperative and had done her homework so well. Even if a female artist was a bit pampered, as long as she handled the acting well, he was relieved by half.
The script read-through was mainly for the actors to review the outline, and for any changes they needed to make, it was best to bring them up at this stage so the director could manage and the screenwriter could make adjustments.
But unexpectedly, the two leads scrutinized the script so meticulously that they had gone beyond discussing the plot and could delve into deeper discussions. Consequently, the screenwriter and the other actors felt as inexperienced as newcomers, breaking into sweat as they paid close attention.
In fact, Qin Baizhou had nothing to say about Xia Siyu accepting the film the moment she brought out her prepared materials and notebook.
If she didn’t care for something, she wouldn’t take such pains to be meticulous about it.
Even if the film might turn out to be a box office flop without awards, for Xia Siyu herself, it was a breakthrough.
It showed that she was seriously developing in the direction of an actor and was not indulging in the vanity brought by popularity.
It was Bo Yan.
Qin Baizhou narrowed his eyes, knowing that Bo Yan’s words were not only directed at her but also at himself!
He was displaying power, laying claim to his territory! He was blatantly telling himself that Xia Siyu belonged to him!
——But actually, Bo Yan meant nothing more.
He was simply stating the literal meaning of his words. He was to take the earliest flight to Shangcheng this morning; there was an important meeting tomorrow afternoon that he could not miss.
Tomorrow was Xia Siyu’s birthday, and regardless of whether Xia Siyu cared about it, it was still her birthday. This was the only time he had to be in contact with Xia Siyu in person to wish her a “Happy Birthday.”
